Error description
The WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edidtion Information Center for fteCreateBridgeAgent states that -bfe will format files stored on the protocol file server to the charater set identified with the -bfe parameter, when this was used to create the Bridge Agent. Upon completion of a transfer to the server, the file remained in its origianl format unconverted.
Local fix
NA
Problem summary
When transferring a file to a protocol bridge agent, the agent would not convert the file to the target character encoding as specified by the protocolServerFileEncoding property in the agent.properties configuration file for a text mode transfer. The initial value of this property is set according to the value of the -bfe parameter of the fteCreateBridgeAgent command. Instead, the file would be written to the protocol bridge agent in its original character encoding. No conversion would take place. Conversion will only occur if the destination encoding is explicitly set on the transfer. USERS AFFECTED: All users of the protocol bridge making transfers in text mode PLATFORMS AFFECTED: All
Problem conclusion
The code has been altered to ensure that the protocol bridge agent will convert the character encoding of a file for a text mode transfer by default to the value of its protocolServerFileEncoding property. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.4.2.
